Hiddenstar came to a stop at the top of the mountain. It had been almost too long since she had time to relax up here and look at the view. She padded right to the edge of the long drop and waited patiently for her apprentice to arrive.

Adderpaw rushed up the the mountain, and stopped in front of her mentor, her chest lifted up and down as she breathed faintly. "I'm here Hiddenstar," she announced, "But on the way, I found this sleeping adder, it looked like it wanted to bite my head off, I know was asleep, but it was dangerous, and really scary, and the I saw this hrew-" she continued her paranoia.

Hiddenstar laughed, turning around to face the apprentice. " By the time you're a warrior those things will be more afraid of you then you are of it. But it doesn't hurt to be a little cautious. We'll start by learning how to hunt but first I want to show you the view." She said, signaling with her tail for the apprentice to join her on the edge of the mountain.

Adderpaw stopped and listened, she looked down and shifted her paws at the part about her becoming fearsome. She did have pretty sharp teeth, Amberpaw had told her that, but... She then looked up and padded beside her mentor. "What a beautiful veiw... wait, has any cat fallen off the mountain before?" Concern flooded her eyes once more as she gazed up at Hiddenstar.

Hiddenstar rolled her eyes. "Of coarse, but they have mostly been careless cats who weren't paying attention when their mentors told them to be careful by the edge." She said winking at Adderpaw. She padded away from the edge and smelt the air. There was plenty of prey scent, mostly mice. If Adderpaw failed to catch the first one she could easily try again.

Adderpaw beamed at her mentor, she was obvisouly supporting her. "So what do we do now Hidden?" she took in the thin air through her nostrils. "I smell mouse!" she said and got to her paws.

"Very good!" Hiddenstar meowed. "Today you are going to learn how to catch prey and with any luck you'll be bringing a few mice back to the clan. Lets start with the hunting position." She said, crouching down into a hunting position.

Adderpaw nodded and copied the hunting position perfectly. She had only made this position before when tackling Flamepaw once. Adderpaw nodded once more, waiting for the nex step.

Hiddenstar nodded, noticing that the position was practically perfect. "Thats very good, now you creep up on your prey, until you are within pouncing distance, wait for it to stay still and pounce. Think you can handle it?" She asked.

Adderpaw nodded stiffly. She then crept up on the mouse wich sat eating a seed. As soon as the mouse started grooming itself seconds later, Adderpaw pounced, in a rush of brown fur, she soon sat up with a small brown mouse in her jaws, laying limply, dead. A smile widened in her face as she sat boldly.

Hiddenstar ran up to Adderpaw, smiling at her apprentice. "That was great. You hunt birds and rabbits differently but they're easy to catch once you know how. Since there aren't many around we should practise fighting." She said, moving so that they were in a good position to fight, not too near the mountain edge. "Now attack me anyway you can."

Nightfeatherpadded up the mountain top with Cloudedpaw bye his side. "This will be a good place to practice hunting." He said and looked around. He saw hidded and smiled. "Or maybe some fighting." He said and trotted to meet his leader. "Hiddenstar!" He called and waiting for her responmse.
Cloudedpaw trotted after Nightfeather and smiled as his mentor spoke of fighing. "Adderpaw hey how you doing?" he asked trotting up to the fellow apprentice.

Adderpaws ears twitched as she fell out of her evasive position she got up and smiled at the fellow apprentice. "Hello, Clouded, how are you today, I'm... in the middle of battlying practie..." she looked up at Hiddenstar for approval to talk to the other cat.

Cloudedpaw smiled. "I'm good. I was just training with Nightfeather." He said tilting his head so his good eye saw the apprentice. "How's the training going?" He asked with hardly a glance to HIddenstar or Nightfeather.

"We.. well, we're, practicing fighting skills now," she muttered, she felt hot under her fur. Not doing what Hiddenstar told her to, now she might fall off the mountain! And added to that, she was talking to an apprentice that wasn't related to her, she never did that... well actually she talked to all them at one point, but not regularly. "Uh.. well,"ooC || uh oh... Adderpaw might have a crush...

Hiddenstar watched the two apprentices talk, but decided to leave them to it. Adderpaw deserved a short rest after doing so well at hunting. "Hello Nightfeather." She meowed, glad that the warrior was at least trying to teach his apprentice new things. "How is Cloudedpaws training coming along? Adderpaw has already learnt to catch mice and this was our first training session. We are about to practise fighting techniques."

Nightfeather smiled, Glad the leader seemed to forgive him for his stupidity. "Great! Cloudedpaw caught a piegon earlier and we were coming up here to work on Hunting mice. Which is hard when it comes to having one eye. He hasn't been able to catch any as of yet but were still working on it." he said and looked brightly at the leader.
((yaaaay! cloudedpaw needs someone to love him...his family wasn't very nice.))
Cloudedpaw smiled at the she-cat. "Yeah? Fighting is one of may favorite things to practice. I'm really good!" he said and looked at his paws quickly. "Sorry...that was rude...I shouldn't brag. Nightfeather says that bragging can lead to arrogence and then who knows what could happen." He said looking up at her. She's realy cute! He though then shook his head quickly trying to get back into conversation but he couldn't stop thinking about her.
((yaay crush! Awe ::dabs at eyes:: they so cute!))

Adderpaw looked down and shuffled her paws. He's looking at me she thought, very confused by this. She looked up at him. A fairly handsome apprentice, but only had one eye? Ah well, not everyone was perfect. And was he slipping on words? "It's okay, I haven't even practiced yet, and maybe I'll be as good as you... Arrogence is bad, it can lead to horrible things and you might-" she shut herself up, her brown fur seemed lightened a bit. "Hidden told me my paranoia is kinda... uh..."

((he is blind in one eye it's not nonexistant lol))
Cloudedpaw smiled and looked at her. "Maybe...maybe we could practice together." he said and looked at her hopefully. "Then maybe you can help me with my...er...my hunting...I'm not so good." He loked at her and couldn't keep from smileing. "And it can't be too bad to be parinoid...I mean it keeps you safe right?" he asked his eyes ggleaming with hope and somethingelse...something he wasn't sure of. Why can't I stop looking at her? He questioned himself. I must osund like an idiot...babbling on and on...

Hiddenstar turned away from her conversation with Nightfeather to watch Adderpaw. She seemed to like Cloudedpaw, but what did she know. Hiddenstar could only guess what love felt like. She turned back to Nightfeather. "See, there are always things to improve on. I decided to bring adderpaw up here to see if I could get her to be a little less parnoid but even Starclan would have a hard time getting her to relax." She smiled, as if hiding her sadness.
